TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to a compound for an organic electric element, an organic electric element using the same, and an electronic device comprising the same.

BACKGROUND ART

In general, organic light emission refers to a phenomenon in which electric energy is converted into light energy by using an organic material. An organic electric element utilizing the organic light emitting phenomenon usually has a structure including an anode, a cathode, and an organic material layer interposed therebetween. In many cases, the organic material layer may have a multilayered structure including multiple layers made of different materials in order to improve efficiency and stability of an organic electric element, and for example, may include a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, a light emitting layer, an electron transport layer, an electron injection layer, and the like.

A material used for an organic material layer in an organic electric element may be classified into a light emitting material and a charge transport material, for example, a hole injection material, a hole transport material, an electron transport material, an electron injection material, and the like according to its function.

Further, the light emitting material may be divided into a high molecular weight type and a low molecular weight type according to its molecular weight, and may also be divided into a fluorescent material derived from electronic excited singlet states and a phosphorescent material derived from electronic excited triplet states according to its light emitting mechanism. Further, the light emitting material may be divided into blue, green, and red light emitting materials, and further divided into yellow and orange light emitting materials required for better natural color reproduction according to its light emitting color.

When only one material is used as a light emitting material, a maximum light emission wavelength is shifted to a longer wavelength due to intermolecular interactions, causing the deterioration in color purity, or efficiency of elements is lowered due to a luminous attenuation effect. Therefore, a host/dopant system may be used as the light emitting material in order to improve color purity and increase luminous efficiency through energy transfer. This is based on the principle that if a small amount of dopant having a smaller energy band gap than a host forming a light emitting layer is mixed in the light emitting layer, excitons generated in the light emitting layer are transported to the dopant, thus emitting light with high efficiency. With regard to this, since the wavelength of the host is shifted to the wavelength band of the dopant, light having a desired wavelength can be obtained according the type of the dopant.

Currently, the market for portable displays is on the way to large-area displays, and thus the sizes of displays are increasing. As a result, the larger power consumption than is required in existing portable displays is required. Therefore, the power consumption is a very important factor in portable displays with a limited power source, such as a battery, and efficiency and lifespan issue also are solved.

Efficiency, lifespan, driving voltages, and the like are correlated with each other. If the efficiency is increased, the driving voltage is relatively lowered, and as the driving voltage is lowered, the crystallization of an organic material due to Joule heating generated during operation is reduced, and as a result, the lifespan shows a tendency to increase. However, the efficiency cannot be maximized only by simply improving the organic material layer. The reason is that both long lifespan and high efficiency can be achieved when there is an optimal combination of energy levels and T1 values, inherent material properties (mobility, interfacial properties, etc.), and the like among the respective layers included in the organic material layer. Accordingly, there is a need for the development of light emitting materials that can retain high thermal stability and an efficient charge balance in a light emitting layer.

Further, in order to solve the light emission problem with a hole transport layer in a recent organic electric element, an auxiliary light emitting layer is essentially present between the hole transport layer and a light emitting layer, and it is time to develop different auxiliary light emitting layers according to respective light emitting layers (R, G, B).

In general, an electron transferred from an electron transport layer to a light emitting layer and a hole transferred from a hole transport layer to the light emitting layer are recombined to form an exciton. However, a material used in a hole transport layer should have a low HOMO value, and thus it mainly has a low T1 value. Due to this, excitons generated from a light emitting layer are transported to the hole transport layer, resulting in a charge unbalance in the light emitting layer, thereby emitting light in an interface of the hole transport layer.

When light emission occurs in the interface of the hole transport layer, the organic electric element suffers from disadvantage of the deteriorations in color purity and efficiency and a reduction in lifespan. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop an auxiliary light emitting layer, which has a high T1 value and a HOMO level between the HOMO energy level of a hole transport layer and the HOMO energy level of a light emitting layer.

That is, in order to allow the organic electric element to sufficiently exhibit excellent characteristics, most of all, materials constituting an organic material layer in the element, for examples, a hole injection material, a hole transport material, a light emitting material, an electron transport material, an electron injection material, and the like need to be supported by stable and efficient materials. However, the development of stable and efficient materials for the organic material layer for an organic electric element is not sufficiently achieved. Therefore, the development of new materials is continuously required, and especially, the development of a host material of the light emitting layer and a material of the auxiliary light emitting layer is urgently required.

The FIGURE is an exemplary view of an organic electric element according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

Referring to the FIGURE, an organic electric element 100 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes a first electrode 120 formed on a substrate 110, a second electrode 180, and an organic material layer between the first electrode 120 and the second electrode 180, the organic material layer containing the compound of the present disclosure. Here, the first electrode 120 may be an anode (positive electrode), and the second electrode 180 may be a cathode (negative electrode). In a case of an inverted organic electric element, the first electrode may be a cathode, and the second electrode may be an anode.

The organic material layer may include a hole injection layer 130, a hole transport layer 140, a light emitting layer 150, an electron transport layer 160, and an electron injection layer 170, which are formed in sequence on the first electrode 120. Here, at least one of these layers may be omitted, or the organic material layer may further include a hole blocking layer, an electron blocking layer, an auxiliary light emitting layer 151, a buffer layer 141, or the like. The electron transport layer 160 or the like may serve as the hole blocking layer.

Although not shown, the organic electric element according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may further include a protective layer or a light efficiency improving layer (capping layer), which is formed on at least one of the sides the first and second electrodes, which is a side opposite to the organic material layer.

The compound of the present disclosure employed in the organic material layer may be used as a material of the hole injection layer 130, the hole transport layer 140, the electron transport layer 160, the electron injection layer 170, the light emitting layer 150, the light efficiency improvement layer, the auxiliary light emitting layer, or the like. As an example, the compound of the present disclosure may be used as a material of the auxiliary light emitting layer 151 and/or the light emitting layer 150.

Since a band gap, electrical properties, interfacial properties, and the like may vary in spite of the same core depending on the type and position of a substituent to be attached, it is very important what the types of core and a combination of substituent attached to the core are. Specially, both long lifespan and high efficiency can be achieved when an optimal combination of energy levels, T₁ values, inherent material properties (mobility, interfacial properties, etc.), and the like among the respective layers included in the organic material layer is given.

As already described above, in order to solve the emission problem with a hole transport layer in a recent organic light emitting diode, an auxiliary light emitting layer is preferably formed between the hole transport layer and the light emitting layer, and it is necessary to form different auxiliary light emitting layers corresponding to respective light emitting layers (R, G, B). In other words, among a red auxiliary light emitting layer, a green auxiliary light emitting layer, and a blue auxiliary light emitting layer corresponding to a red light emitting layer, a green light emitting layer, a blue light emitting layer, the auxiliary light emitting layer includes the red auxiliary light emitting layer. Meanwhile, the correlation between the auxiliary light emitting layer and the hole transport layer and the correlation between the auxiliary light emitting layer and the light emitting layer (host) need to be understood, and if a used organic material layer varies even when similar cores are used, the characteristics of the auxiliary light emitting layer are very difficult to infer.

Accordingly, energy levels, T1 values, and inherent material properties (mobility, interfacial properties, etc.), and the like among the respective layers included in the organic material layer are optimized by forming the light emitting layer and/or auxiliary light emitting layer using the compound represented by Formula (1) of the present disclosure, so that both the lifespan and efficiency of an organic electric element can be improved.

An organic electric element according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may be manufactured using various deposition methods. The organic electric element may be manufactured by a physical vapor deposition (PVD) method, a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method, or the like. For example, The organic electric element may be manufactured by depositing a metal, a metal oxide having conductivity, or an alloy thereof, on the substrate to form the anode 120, forming the organic material layer including the hole injection layer 130, the hole transport layer 140, the light emitting layer 150, the electron transport layer 160, and the electron injection layer 170 thereon, and then depositing a material, which can be used for the cathode 180, thereon. The auxiliary light emitting layer 151 may be formed between the hole transport layer 140 and the light emitting layer 150.

Also, the organic material layer may be manufactured to have a smaller number of layers using various polymer materials by a soluble process or solvent process, for example, a spin coating process, a nozzle printing process, an inkjet printing process, a slot coating process, a dip coating process, a roll-to-roll process, a doctor blading process, a screen printing process, or a thermal transfer method. Since the organic material layer according to the present disclosure may be formed in various ways, the scope of protection of the present disclosure is not limited by a method of forming the organic material layer.

The organic electric element according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may be a top emission type, a bottom emission type, or a dual emission type, according to the used materials.

A white organic light emitting device (WOLED) facilitates the implementation of high resolution, has excellent processability, and has an advantage of being produced using conventional LCD color filter technologies. In this regard, various structures for WOLEDs, mainly used as back light units, have been suggested and patented. Representative WOLEDs are: a parallel side-by-side arrangement of red (R), green (G), and blue (B) light-emitting units on a mutual plane: a stacking arrangement of R, G, and B light emitting layers above and below; and a color conversion material (CCM) structure using electroluminescence from a blue (B) organic light emitting layer and photoluminescence from an inorganic fluorescent body by using the electroluminescence. The present disclosure is applicable to these WOLEDs.

Manufacturing and Evaluation of Organic Electric Element [Example 1] Manufacturing and Evaluation of Red Organic Light Emitting Diode

An organic electric light emitting diode was manufactured by an ordinary method using the compound obtained through the synthesis as a light emitting host material for a light emitting layer. First, a film of N¹-(naphthalen-2-yl)-N⁴,N⁴-bis(4-(naphthalen-2-yl(phenyl)amino)phenyl)-N¹-phenylbenzene-1,4-diamine (hereinafter, abbreviated as “2-TNATA”) was vacuum-deposited with a thickness of 60 nm on an ITO layer (anode) formed on a galas substrate. Then, N,N′-Bis(1-naphthalenyl)-N,N′-bis-phenyl-(1,1′-biphenyl)-4,4′-diamine (hereinafter, abbreviated as “NPB”) was vacuum-deposited with a thickness of 60 nm on the film, to form a hole transport layer. Subsequently, the present inventive compound represented by the Formula (1) as a material for an auxiliary light emitting layer was vacuum-deposited with a thickness of 20 nm to form the auxiliary light emitting layer. After the auxiliary light emitting layer is formed, a light emitting layer with a thickness of 30 nm was deposited on the auxiliary light emitting layer by doping CBP[4,4′-N,N′-dicarbazole-biphenyl] as a host and (piq)₂Ir(acac) [bis-(1-phenylisoquinolyl)iridium(III)acetylacetonate] as a dopant at a weight ratio of 95:5. Then, (1,1′-bisphenyl)-4-olato)bis(2-methyl-8-quinolinolato)aluminum (hereinafter abbreviated as “BAlq”) was vacuum-deposited with a thickness of 10 nm for a hole blocking layer, and tris(8-quinolinol)aluminum (hereinafter abbreviated as “Alq₃”) was formed with a thickness of 40 nm for an electron injection layer. Thereafter, LiF as halogenated alkali metal was deposited with a thickness of 0.2 nm, and subsequently Al was deposited with a thickness of 150 nm as a negative electrode. In this way, an organic electric light emitting diode was manufactured.

A forward bias DC voltage was applied to each of the organic light emitting diodes manufactured in Example and Comparative Example to measure electro-luminescent (EL) characteristics thereof by PR-650 (Photoresearch). Also, the T95 life time was measured by the life time measurement equipment (Mcscience) at reference brightness of 2500 cd/m². The measurement results are shown in Table below.

As can be seen from the results of Table 4, when a red organic light emitting device was manufactured using the material of the organic light emitting device of the present disclosure as that of the light emitting auxiliary layer, the driving voltage of the organic light emitting device can be lowered and the luminous efficiency and life time can be remarkably improved as compared with either no use of the light emitting auxiliary layer or the comparative example using Comparative Compounds A to D.

In other words, it is shown that the results of Comparative Examples 2 to 5 using the Comparative Compounds A to D were superior to those of Comparative Example 1, which did not use the auxiliary light emitting layer, and the results of Examples 1 to 23 of the present inventive compounds were is superior to those of Comparative Examples using the Comparative Compounds.

In Comparative Compounds A to D, Comparative Compound A in which all heteroaryl groups (for example, Carbazole) were substituted in the same substitution positions as those of the inventive compounds in Dibenzofuran had a driving voltage of about 0.2 eV slower, but improved results in efficiency and life time. The comparative compounds C and D in which the kind of the substituent group and the substitution position were different from the inventive compound had the same or slightly increased driving voltage but improved results in efficiency and life time. The comparative compound B, which is most similar to the inventive compound, showed not only an improvement in efficiency and life time but also an improvement of 0.2 eV in the driving voltage. However, it could be confirmed that the compound of the inventive compound exhibited more excellent effect than the comparative compound B.

It is shown that because the inventive compound of in which the amine group is substituted with 3 amino groups more excellent in hole property than the Comparative Compound, which improves the hole injection and mobility, and as a result, acts as a major factor in improving the device performance.

In addition, it is shown that different results are obtained depending on the kinds of the linking groups L¹ to L³, compared the results of the Comparative Compound B with the inventive compounds, and the results of the compounds in which the linking groups L¹ to L³ are all single bonds are the best.

It is shown that although the core of the compounds is similar to each other, the physical properties of the compounds such as hole characteristics, luminous efficiency characteristics, energy level (LUMO, HOMO level, T1 level), hole injection & mobility characteristics, and electron blocking characteristics may vary according to the type or the position of substitution, which may lead to totally different device results.

In addition, the characteristics of elements have been described in view of an auxiliary light emitting layer with reference to the foregoing evaluation results of the manufacture of elements, but the materials used for the auxiliary light emitting layer may be ordinarily used alone or in a mixture with other materials, for the foregoing organic material layer for an organic electric element, such as an electron transport layer, an electron injection layer, a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, an light emitting layer and an auxiliary electron transport layer. Therefore, for the foregoing reasons, the compounds of the present disclosure may be used alone or in a mixture with other materials, for the other layers for an organic material layer, excluding the auxiliary light emitting layer, for example, the electron transport layer, the electron injection layer, the hole injection layer, the hole transport layer, the light emitting layer and the auxiliary electron transport layer.
